Vehicle Quick Reference: Maintenance Jeep Compass I рестайлинг 2

TRANSMISSION PTU AND RDA FLUIDS

Note. Refer to the maintenance schedules in the Owner's Manual for the recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change) intervals for this transaxle.

Note. All transaxles have a common transmission and differential sump. Filling the transaxle accommodates the differential as well.

Mopar ® CVT+4 is required in the CVT automatic transaxles.

Mopar ® CVT+4 when new is green in color. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. A dark brown/black fluid accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or transmission component failure.

BG6 and T355 Manual transaxles require the use of Mopar ® ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid).

PTU and RDA use Mopar ® Gear AND Axle Lubricant SAE 80W-90 API GL 5 or equivalent non-synthetic product.

FLUID ADDITIVES

Chrysler strongly recommends against the addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than those automatic transmission fluids listed above. Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks.

Various "special" additives and supplements exist that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These additives and others also claim to improve converter clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation, varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been supported to the satisfaction of Chrysler and these additives must not be used. The use of transmission "sealers" should also be avoided, since they may adversely affect the integrity of transmission seals.

BRAKE FLUID

The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703 standards. No other type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake system. Use only Mopar® Brake Fluid or equivalent from a tightly sealed container.

CAUTIONNever use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid from a container which has been left open. An open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTIONNever use any type of a petroleum-based fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of such type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle brake hydraulic system causing a failure of the vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc.

POWER STEERING FLUID

The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar® Power Steering fluid + 4 or Mopar® ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid. Both Fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602).

Mopar® ATF+4 (and Mopar® Power Steering fluid + 4), when new, is red in color. ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, ATF+4 will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL . ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.

The power steering system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance. Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically. Check the fluid level anytime there is a system noise or fluid leak suspected. Refer to FLUID, STANDARD PROCEDURE .

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - NAFTA AND PUERTO RICO

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this Service Information must be done at the times or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3, 500 miles (5, 600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

Note. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10, 000 miles (16 000 km) or twelve months, whichever comes first.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip

  1. Check engine oil level
  2. Check windshield washer fluid level
  3. Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
  4. Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and transmission as needed
  5. Check function of all interior and exterior lights

At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System

  1. Change oil and filter.
  2. Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on.
  3. Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
  4. Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick.
  5. Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
  6. Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
  7. Inspect exhaust system.
  8. Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
CAUTIONFailure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

OIL CHANGE INDICATOR- RESET

The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The "Oil Change Required" message flashes in the EVIC display for approximately ten seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate depending upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Do not start the engine.
  2. Fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within ten seconds.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position.

Note. If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - LATIN AMERICA - GASOLINE

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this Service Information must be done at the times or mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance

On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles, "Oil Change Required" will be displayed in the EVIC and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, "Change Oil" will flash in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

The oil change indicator message will illuminate approximately 7, 000 miles (11 200 km) after the most recent oil change was performed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within 500 miles (800 km). However, an earlier oil change at 4, 500 miles (7, 500 km) may be required if the vehicle is operated under "Severe Duty Conditions" later in this Service Information .

Note. The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change the vehicle's oil if it has been 12 months since the last oil change, even if the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.

Note. Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off road for an extended period of time.

Note. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 7, 500 miles (12 000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first.

At Each Stop for Fuel

  1. Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
  2. Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

Once a Month

  1. Check the tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
  2. Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
  3. Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering and add as needed.
  4. Check all the lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

  1. Change the engine oil filter.
  2. Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
CAUTIONFailure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The "Oil Change Required" message flashes in the EVIC display for approximately ten seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate depending upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Do not start the engine.
  2. Fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within ten seconds.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position.

Note. If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
